New satellite images confirm China is constructing a large air defence complex on the eastern banks of Pangong Lake in Tibet, featuring covered missile launch positions and command buildings.

The construction activity at the banks of the eastern part of the Pangong Lake in Tibet is in full swing as per the satellite images. According to India Today, the construction has been taking place around 110 km away from one of the friction points of the 2020 border clashes. Researchers at the US-based geo-intelligence firm AllSource Analysis were the first to identify the design.

They also pointed out that a replica of this complex exists just 65 km from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Gar County, directly facing India’s newly upgraded Nyoma airfield. However, the early stage of this development of the facility was identified in late July by geospatial researcher Damien Symon. But the detailed features, such as covered missile launch positions, vehicle sheds, were not identified at that time.
